Chapter 1336 1336 Sportsmanship

--- Kat ---

*Not to disparage Green just after she won the day for us... but does that laughter sound a bit unhinged to you? Should we be worried?*

[Nah. That's the sound of someone so completely exhausted and thankful an assessment is done that they can finally rest only to realise that they're too keyed up to be able to sleep. It's the laughter of joy and resignation.]

*Why do you know that?*

[Surprisingly not me. I didn't struggle to fall asleep even before turning into a Memphis... though admittedly I didn't have the same amount of skill in it. No, this is what my Dad sounds like at 3AM when he collapses on the couch but can't quite get to sleep.]

*Why do you know THAT?*

[Look, just because I could fall asleep easily didn't mean I always decided to fall asleep at a reasonable time. I stayed up and researched all sorts of stuff. I was awake for this sort of breakdown once or twice.]

*Wait is that why you always slept in on weekends? I thought you just liked sleeping!*

[And I told you multiple times that you just go to bed early... but perhaps I didn't properly consider why you'd always go to bed so early...]You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★

*Probably? I mean, I stayed up later then most of the kids, but if I really wanted time for myself I had to get up early instead. Well that and I took it upon myself to wake them up most days. So I had to be awake and ready before they were. It just sort of happened.*

[Urgh. Damned morning people.]

*Lily, I don't even know what you count as anymore. Not sure you can really complain.*

[Obviously the latter, unless it's based on some type of fish known as a jet or something like that. As for which round... I'm not sure. If we needed the points I'd definitely send you to the final round. You could just bully everyone and take the win that way. That being said... we're not competing for points. Though... I'm not sure we should be competing for prizes either.]

*Oh?*

[Yeah... we've already won, and sure we could probably compete and win both of the top prizes on offer... but I'm thinking it might be best just to have fun with the next two rounds, heck if everyone is cool with it I might even give it a shot. Just... winning is one thing, and everyone was happy we did that... but winning and then scooping up the bonus prizes just feels like bad sportsmanship.]

*Ah that's a good point. I wasn't really thinking of it that way. Should we like... sit out completely then?*

[We could... especially if everyone is too tired... but I feel like that would also be bad sportsmanship. I imagine it would feel quite insulting. Heck, even just having me participate might be insulting, but eh, I want to participate and now that it doesn't matter I feel like I CAN participate without worrying myself into a complete mess.]

*In that case, I'm perfectly happy with sitting this one out and letting you have a chance to shine. Though, realistically, you already showed off quite well yesterday when you and Marigold managed to get that win.*

[Bah, that was mostly Marigold it doesn't count.]

*I very much don't believe you there, but I'm not going to argue about it. You're too cute for that.* Lily gained a deep blush but didn't rise to the bait. *Right well... which of the two events did you plan to enter? If Kress is fine with things he'll probably take the second event. Heck, he could probably team up with Stan and get their team the win. Though Nixilei might want to help Asteodia's team win... or maybe not because Asteodia's not participating? Hard to say. Enough of that though. What do you WANT to do.*

[Probably the treasure hunt? It's not like I couldn't participate in the race, but I just don't care for it. Not sure I care all that much about combat either, but I think I could have a lot of fun sneaking around and snatching treasures from people or something like that. Honestly the cannon even is the most interesting one today... but well... I'll admit it, I just chickened out. The pressure was too much... and hey Green WON IT ALL for us. I don't think I could've done that.]

*Lily... you can fly. You could've taken the chance to just hover in the air and do tricks.*

[Yeah but Thyme might've made a rule about that. Probably did. I mean, it makes sense to do it like that to prevent the flyers from dominating.]

*Eh... probably, but also probably only on one or two judges max. I think there's a decent chance you could've won it all*
